Virginia lived in Savannah for many years before moving to North Bryan County in 1991.  She worked several jobs, always choosing jobs that would allow her to be home with her girls after school.  She worked at Byrd Cookie Co., J.C. Clements Furniture, and was one of the first hired when the Kmart on Montgomery Crossroads opened in Savannah.

She was very active in church in her younger days, teaching Sunday School and VBS at Antioch Baptist Church, and later as a member of Bonna Bella Baptist Church.  She had a beautiful voice and loved to sing Southern gospel music.

She loved her flowers, her cats, and her little dog Cuddles.  She loved to go to yard sales and shopping.  She liked to pick up little “treasures” for her grands and great grands on her shopping trips.  She was an excellent seamstress, and made beautiful dresses for her daughters when they were young.
